I'm an adventurous and easy-going traveler trying to get the most out of the world. I was raised in America but my family roots are from Venezuela and Cuba. I finished a 2.5 year round the world trip and ended up working as a data scientist for a technology company (Gojek) in Singapore. Then I moved to Bali 1 year ago. To see more about my travels, check out my instagram (www.instagram.com/wander_travel_explore). I live in Berawa, a popular area for bars, beach clubs and cafes — right between Seminyak and Canggu.
